The joy is in the journey
The light is in the night
Strength comes in living
And not giving up
So travel on, Dear Friend
You will reach your journey’s end
But don’t trudge ahead with grief
When you fulfill your mission here
You will find relief
For we are all fellow travelers
Reaching for a goal
But if we miss the day’s opportunity
It will be forever gone
Today you may meet
Someone who has a need
But if you are concerned about the time you lost in detours
You may not notice this service opportunity is yours
Yes, the joy is in the journey
The light shines bright in the night
Take heart, Dear Traveler
You’re still in his will
You’re traveling in his sight
There may be some place you must go
Some test you must face
But mission work is always done
From dawn till setting sun
Don’t miss opportunity on the way to your goal
For what is the goal really, but to save some lost soul
Whether in a cornfield, a battlefield, or a foreign mission field
We must teach some soldier the sword of the spirit to wield
You mustn’t give up or think your life’s work unworthy
For you are where you are for a reason
If your will is submitted to the Savior’s
He will take care of you and prepare you for your harvest season
